Unitary State
A unitary state is a state governed as a single power in which the
central government is ultimately supreme and any administrative
divisions (sub-national units) exercise only the powers that the
central government chooses to delegate. The majority of states in the
world have a unitary system of government. Of the 193 UN member
states, 165 are governed as unitary states.
In a unitary state, sub-national units are created and abolished (an
example being the 22 mainland regions of
FranceFrance being merged into 13),
and their powers may be broadened and narrowed, by the central
government. Although political power may be delegated through
devolution to local governments by statute, the central government
remains supreme; it may abrogate the acts of devolved governments or
curtail their powers.

Northern IrelandNorthern Ireland is an example
